IPN 200 — Dimensions, Weight & Section Properties
IPN I-beam per EN 10365 (DIN 1025-1)
IPN 200 is a IPN I-beam per EN 10365 (DIN 1025-1), 200 mm tall and 90 mm wide, weighing 26.2 kg per meter. All dimensions and section properties below are the standard published values used in structural design across Europe.
Typical uses: floor beams, columns, frames, and general steel construction. For a quick strength check, use the deflection example below or open the beam calculator with your own span and load.

Deflection example
A simply supported IPN 200 spanning 4 m with a 10 kN point load at midspan deflects 2.97 mm (E = 210 GPa, Ix = 2,140 cm⁴). The L/360 serviceability limit for this span is 11.1 mm — the profile passes this quick check.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does IPN 200 weigh?
IPN 200 weighs 26.2 kg per meter. A standard 6 m bar weighs 157.2 kg and a 12 m bar 314.4 kg. The weight follows from the cross-section area of 33.4 cm² multiplied by the steel density of 7,850 kg/m³.
What are the dimensions of IPN 200?
IPN 200 is 200 mm tall and 90 mm wide, with a web thickness of 7.5 mm, a flange thickness of 11.3 mm, and a root radius of 7.5 mm, per EN 10365 (DIN 1025-1).
What is the moment of inertia of IPN 200?
About the strong axis, Ix = 2,140 cm⁴ with a section modulus Wx = 214 cm³. About the weak axis, Iy = 117 cm⁴ and Wy = 26 cm³. Use the beam deflection calculator to turn these into deflection and stress for your span and load.
IPN 200 or IPN 220 — what does one size up change?
IPN 220 is about 19% heavier (31.1 vs 26.2 kg/m) but about 43% stiffer (Ix 3,060 vs 2,140 cm⁴). Going one size up is usually the cheapest way to cut deflection, because stiffness grows much faster than weight.
